Chess Club Janwe
For over 40 years now the pieces have been repeatedly placed on the checkered boards creating young talents who battle positively, mind vs mind and strategy vs strategy. Chess Club Janwe was founded in the year 1977. The club's instructor and trainer FIDE Master Mr. Louis Alvin Smith at that time Netherlands Antilles chess champion was asked to teach the local youth the game and sport of chess which led to the founding of the club where classes took place in Sentro di bario Janwe (community center of Janwe) till to this day. Chess Club Janwe resides under the auspices of Curacao Chess Players Foundation and is managed by CCPF's board members.
